OBITUARY.
HENRY H. KNIGHT.

HENRY H. KNIGHT.
Henry II. Knight, Familiarity known as
"Kilby," died Thursday. In the old and
palmy days of base ball 'Kilby" was an i'm
portant factor, being considered one of the
best shortstops then extant. By trade he
was carriage painter, and as such did credit
to his employers. "Kilby" was genial,
whole-hearted companion, a ready con-
verser, and one who will be sincerely missed
by large circle of friends and acquaint-
ances. He was 30 years of age and leaves a
widow and an aged mother.

is STANLEY DEAD?
Rumors of the Great Explorers Death in
Africa.

Rumors of the Great Explorers Death in
Africa.
LONDON, July 2l.-A dispatch from
st. Thomas, West Africa, says: The West
African Company has received a report
that Henry NJ. Stanley, the African ex-
plorer, has been shot dead by natives,
with whom his expedition was fighting in
order to obtain supplies.
Another account says that the steamer
on which Stanley was proceeding to the
relief of Emin Bey was sunk, and that the
explorer was drowned.
The latter report of Mr.. Stanley's death
emauates from a missionary at Matadi,
who received it from native from up the
country.
No direct message has been received
from the expedition. The rumor regard
ing the death of II. NJ. Stanley is utterly
discredited here. The latest authentic
news from him was from Aruwimi, and
was sent under date OF June 2. 1t would
be impossible for native to reach Matadi
and then st. Thomas since that time. The
distance between Matadi and Aruwimi
alone is thousand miles through the
roughest country.
Sir Henry Thurston Holland, Secretary
OF State for the Colonies, stated in Com
mons this afternoon that the Government
had no information about the reported
death of Henry M. Stanley.

Foupht Sixty-One Rounds.

PROVIDENCE, r. l., July 2l.-Near the
Connecticut line and not far IRON lonely
little village, last night, there was gath
cred the largest crowd Of sports that
Rhode Island ever saw at a prize ring con-
test.
Ike Weir, the Belfast Spider" and
Jack Haylin had friends from neighbonng
cities present. After all the details had
been arranged, Weir being weighed in at
ll6 pounds and Havlin at 10, the fight
started.
The Spider" got the credit Of first
blood, bat Havlin got the first knock
down. Sixty-one raunds were fought and,
though the fight was declared a draw,
everything seemed to favor Johnny Havlin
after the thirtieth round.

Tanner 10 be Suspended .

LONDON, July 2l.-Dr. Tanner, Home
Ruler, appeared before Commons this after
noon in obedience TO summons to explain
the charge Of Mr.. Long, Conservative, that
the Doctor, in the lobby, in the presence Of
several members, called Mr.. Long q
damned snob" and used other i'm
proper language. DIR. Tanner said
he regretted the trouble the House
was put to about the matter. Longs
manner and language when he approached
him Tanner in the lobby were part of an
arrangement to annoy him. Here DIR.
Tadner said he was sorry for replying to
Mr.. Long as he did, and withdrew the
indecOrous expressions.
Sir Julian Goldsmith, Liberal Unionist ,
urged the House to let the matter drop.
Mr.. Henry Smith regretted he was un'
able to do 30. Tanner had offered no ex-
plsnation of his attack on the House last
Monday when the matter was first brought
up. Parliament must mark its sense OI
his misconduct in some manner. If Q
months suspension was too long, the term
Of suspension could he shortened.

Cookers Resuming Work.

PTTTsBURG, July 2l.-The strikers are
resuming work in the coke regions and by
Monday it is expected that all the works
will be in operation, The Union, May
field, Donly, Stonerville, Mullen and
Southwest Works Nos. !, 2, and 3, started
up to-day with large forces. Everything
is quiet, and as soon as resumption is de
clared general, the PInkerton men will be
withdrawn. Since the strike was inau,
gurated eleven weeks ago, forty eight
blast furnaces were compelled to shut
down on account of the scarcity OF coke.
This has reduced the production of pig iron
400, 600 tons. 1t is thought that with
resumption of operations, however, that
the production will be increased 40, OV
tons week before the middle of August.
